Kids Took the D.A.R.E. to Avoid. - D.A.R.E. America.
I used to do D.A.R.E., back in fifth grade. It was actually really interesting, and I think they should continue it through middle and high school. Unfrtunately, they don't have D.A.R.E. for seventh graders, so I'm stuck with classes about proper portion control for the year. :P I once did an essay for D.A.R.E.
The primary goal of Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) was to teach effective peer resistance and refusal skills so that adolescents can say “no” to drugs and their friends who may want them to use drugs. The secondary goals of the program were to build students’ social skills and enhance their self-esteem, as these are believed to be linked to adolescent drug use. DARE was developed.
Also included in the fifth grade D.A.R.E. program are an anti-drug and violence poster contest, a D.A.R.E. essay contest, D.A.R.E graduation, and a D.A.R.E. Day fun day field trip at the end of each school year. Visitation lessons are also provided to 1st thru 4th grade students. These lessons are based on three visitations to each grade group.

D.A.R.E. is about the importance of communication, teaching others about what we learned, and being a good citizen.” Alex agreed, “D.A.R.E. is a program that teaches students decision making for safe and healthy living.

This year in fifth grade we learned about D.A.R.E. We learned about what drugs can do to your body and how they will affect you in your later life. We also got to put questions in the D.A.R.E. box, then when the officer came he would take some questions out of the D.A.R.E. box and answer them. D.A.R.E. is to tell the fifth graders what drugs will do to your body and that it is better to be.
